Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A voluptuously shot horror movie.

fresh:
More superpowers from Brian De Palma, this time in high school, in a screen version of a Stephen King novel that's become a horror classic.

fresh:
An exercise in high style that even the most unredeemably rational among moviegoers should find enormously enjoyable.

fresh:
Carrie is a modest but effective shock-suspense drama about a pubescent girl, her evangelical mother and cruel schoolmates.

rotten:
This 1976 thriller, about a high school outcast (Sissy Spacek) who uses her telekinetic powers to massacre the graduating class, contains a number of interesting ideas. But as with most of his films, De Palma can't keep track of them.
